U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders on his progressive views

Tavis Smiley talks to Independent US Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont about his possible presidential run in 2016.

Sanders believes that a progressive candidate is needed, saying that he could stand for “what the American people believe and start representing the interest of working families who are often getting a short shrift today.” He also believes that he can work to remedy “the growing alienation of the American people from the political process”

On the possibility of Hillary Clinton as Democratic candidate, Sanders says that she “has not been as vigorous as she should be in taking on right wing Republicans.”
